Bambie Thug has just given Doomsday Blue the music video treatment.

Following January’s big win to represent Ireland at this year’s Eurovision Song Contest with the song, Bambie has unveiled a spell-binding accompanying video before heading to Malmö, Sweden in May to hopefully qualify for the grand final.

“Filming the music video for Doomsday Blue was mad!” Bambie enthuses. “I’m so proud to have worked with an amazing team filled with so many queer and non-binary people. Camp are a dream to work with, and while the turnaround was ridiculously fast, there was a lot of heart and passion poured into it and I’m super grateful.

“Originally the story for the video was very dark, but since winning the Eurosong, there’s been so many people reaching out about how their children love the song, so I wanted to make sure the video was something enjoyable and accessible for people of all ages. My sister and I eventually came up with this idea of making it a little more cutesy, spooky and comedic.

“There’s a lot of odes to pop culture moments in there from Mean Girls and Barbie to The Creation of Adam (Michelangelo)… obviously all made a bit goth. I’m excited to share it with everyone and have it out in the world… now I can focus on bringing it to life in Malmö.”
